Dear Leader ZerO said that he will not raise taxes for anyone making under $250,000. He has a way to do it through the back door. You will pay more for energy and anything that energy is needed to make (everything). He will tax the Energy companies and they will charge you more. The Energy company pays a tax, you just pay higher bills.
As Dear Leader ZerO said in an interview in January 2008 with the San Francisco Chronicle:
"When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal…under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I’m capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas…you name it…whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations. That will cost money…they will pass that money on to the consumers."
Your electricity bill will go up by 90%. If you are paying $300 a month now, you will have to pay $570 a month after this "non tax" is signed into law. The cost of gasoline will go up by 58%.
A gallon of gas that now costs $2.64 will cost you $4.17 a gallon.
On average, every families energy costs will go up by $1,241 per year on average. That is an extra $103.42 per month you will have to pay. But mind you, it is not a new tax on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. Just a way for you to pay more to your gas station or more on your electric bill. The tax is being paid by them, not you.
